Model Railroad Illiusion
Title:  Model Railroad Illiusion
Description:  The eyes can trick you, this is my third illiusion photo, I started with a GP38 - 2 at Pigs Eye that looked to be on a flat car, then a flame from Lakes Gas behind a BNSF Hi-Rail truck made it look like the truck was on fire. Now, here at Westminster, a BNSF freight meet a UP freight, the power is going towards one of the smaller tunnels. This looks like a model railroad by the looks of the UP freight's cars and the locomotive on the BNSF freight

HO Scale or Real?
Title:  HO Scale or Real?
Description:  Ok, this is a trick question, is this photo real or taken on a HO Scale layout? But both trains meet a bit earlier, the train on the higher track is a UP freight with a SD9043MAC leading a NS Dash 9, a UP (Ex - SP) GP40 - 2 and a HLCX (Former GP40) GP38 - 3, this BNSF freight is lead by a pair of Dash 9s in both the H1 and H2 scheme and a Dash 8 in a fading warbonnet scheme. There is a clue to making this what it might be
